Police Blog: Memphis Cops Find Themselves

Bloggers have been. Bloggers set up a site called MPD Enforcer. How very dare they? If anyone is to police the police it should be the police. We can’t just have anyone telling the police what kind of a job they are doing.

Who then can check their work? The police? They would be the best equipped. It’s pretty clear you should require a licence of some kind to police the police. The police could provide the licence and do background checks on any applicants.

First the Memphis police should locate the bloggers. They produce a law suit. The police maintain that the bloggers’ site features a picture of an undercover officer. For anyone who missed it, a picture of the same officer features on the, er, police department web site.

Most of the articles written about the MPD Enforcer drama fail to mention that the blog is run by current officers and ex-officers. The bloggers criticize the *administration* of the Memphis PD, and it is really a blog created by cops for other cops.

The MPD Enforcer is NOT an anti-police blog.

The only police officers really trying to figure out who is behind the MPD Enforcer blog are the police director and a few of his lackeys.
